it's too bad that i can't suggest ban wale from the internet

"Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name/ Its Kanye but some of my plastic still say Kayne" >"Yea, they keep sayin whale but my name Wal-e/ Ho's call me "Mr. Never Wear The Same Thang"

i voted wale for the lady gaga hook

does 2009 really need a third charting song to incorporated Steam's "Na na hey hey kiss him goodbye"? maybe we should go for four or five of these?

I kinda love the Drake song and yes the Wale song is dogshit xpost

worst currently charting single that samples or interpolates Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye"

well i'll be damned

i will not be participating in that poll but thx for the offer

from everything i read and heard about him i was expecting to really hate drake - haven't checked anything else out but i really like 'best i ever had', such a pretty tune. prefer the nicki minaj remix though just cuz...you get nicki instead of drake for a verse. his verses aren't what makes the song good so you may as well get someone decent on them.

the wale track is just appalling and i really hope i don't hear it again. worst bit = midway thru the chorus you start thinking that for once gaga has committed to not doing anything obnoxious and then she goes YUUURRRSSSS like she's throwing up and you just sigh inside.

What is the rap song I'm hearing that actually becomes "Poker Face" at the end btw? Is it one of these?

that's "Make Her Say" by Kid Cudi f/ Kanye and Common, which is better than both these songs.

lex otm about YURRRSSS

wahle by a mile!!

Drake is suspect.gif but he made a hit, no denying it

Wale seems to have a lot of potential at times, but he really came up with the lamest possible attempt at a lead single, musically and in terms of just symbolizing what kind of bad ideas he's willing to run with to try for a hit

id rather listen to him not make any sense and say nothing over a whole song than listen to drake and keep thinking about how annoying he is

i dunno, he's annoying but not as annoying as "eyes all stickin' like honey on bees"

pretty funny how j0rdan has become a big defender of "Best" considering that Drake sounds almost exactly like his mans Trey Songz on it

drake is weird looking! i had no idea

or not weird looking but he doesn't look like a rapper to me (idk even really know what that means because rappers look all kinds of ways but he looks like he shouldn't be a rapper for some reason i can't explain)

he looks like Eamon

yeah kinda...that's it though he looks more R&B than rap

shit he looks more catalog model than R&B even

i mean ugly guys been runnin R&B the last few years!

haha - i actually don't ind trey songz solo singles (i love "i can't wait") my position on him is just that he's the most needless and superfluous collaborator in the rap universe

don't mind*

he really came up with the lamest possible attempt at a lead single, musically and in terms of just symbolizing what kind of bad ideas he's willing to run with to try for a hit

this is otm - it's hilarious that he was posited as some antidote to pop-rap or whatever and then he comes out with a song that has a. a cheesy sample b. a beat produced by inconsistent at best "super producers" c. a trendy girl on the hook which has to be like the ultimate trifecta of desperation

if you can't beat em join em i guess

id like to take this time also to remind everyone that the cool n dre beat on tha carter III is probably my least favorite rap beat of like the past 5 years or something and should've got them blacklisted from the industry

can't wait to do an update on this thread: worst Cool & Dre production of 2007-2008

xpost

which song did they do on carter III

are they the ones that did that "i gotta 100 million dollars 100 million dollars 100 million dollars and i come from the GHE-TO" song with birdmans and dem?

they did do that, and their C3 song was "phone home"

100 million dollars (or w/e) is aight cuz it sounds like the runners basically iirc

runners copped like 50% of their style from c&d anyway

So, I finally listened to "Chillin'" and....uh......Matt otm?

Why does Lady Gaga sound like Santogold on this song? (Not complaining at all, mind you but that was weird.)

"100 Million" is the last good thing they've done (besides the wayne/scarface/bun track from emeritus but that shouldn't count because I can't believe that was them)

both of these guys are clowns but I have a feeling Drake is gonna be huge so I'm trying not to hate him too much. I like some of the stuff he's done with the designs that go with his singles. itunes avatars. they would be called covers I guess but that doesn't seem right

I think the hook was written for MIA or Santogold and they couldnt get either of them. thats my theory

because they obv tried to get m.i.a. to do the hook and i guess gaga was the next best thing?

?? you afraid of not getting a job with him or something?

as a post-softserve rappers/singer we could do way worse than drake - the "best i ever had" chorus is pretty amazing - ill care about his rapping on his rap songs

wale otoh raps all the time and is bad at it

Don’t get me wrong, he’s a talented enough dude, it’s just so much of this tape and his catalog seems so calculated and cold and self aware.

^^noz otm

sounds like a good theory re: MIA hook since at one point he does yell out "M I A!" right?

yeah he directly cites "paper planes"

xpost to m@tt

i just don't really feel like wasting the energy that it takes to actively hate a popular artist. i don't bother with it anymore, ambivalence/ignorance is much easier

and wale, gaga and m.i.a. are all signed/distributed by interscope so i think the theory makes sense - dont think santigold enters into the equation at all

ok, makes sense

another reason to root for "best i ever had" is because it has a legit chance of knocking the black eyed faggots peas conglomerate out of the top two spots on the hot 100

ugh drake is such a fucking simp

voted for wale btw

i feel like votes for wale are more about voting for the more likeable dude than more likeable song

more like the reverse to me

well..prob wnkiw either tbh

the wale song is still a lot better tho

wale is a way more likeable dude! but that song is trash.
the drake song i a halfway decent R&B single ... hes a shitty annoying rapper but he made a good song

Wale is a talented rapper who dropped a really awkward & corny track

the drake song i a halfway decent R&B single ...

sorry, but no

"Best I Ever Had" feels so pithy and Drake makes my skin crawl (dunno what I was trying to say earlier, but yeah, Wale is more likable)

uh you're probably reading too much into the song - rappers make songs like this all the time - it just has a good hook

I disagree.

it's annoying+catchy, which is the worst possible combination of elements. luckily, it's only mildly annoying and mildly catchy.

i feel like votes for wale are more about voting for the more likeable dude than more likeable song

hardly the case as it's been cool to hate on wale in general for a while now

wale is a way more likeable dude! but that song is trash.
the drake song i a halfway decent R&B single ... hes a shitty annoying rapper but he made a good song

Agreed, I want to like Wale's new stuff much more than I do, wish he'd make something as appealing as Good Girls again.

I don't like Drake, but "Best I Ever Had" is such a feel good club jam and I've never been out and seen people react less than rapturously to it.

so he's like non-gangster, non-ignorant, non-vulgar plies

drake = ja rule?

except ja rule was "thug lovin" and drake is not

also, he's jewish and canadian

so drake is the next s1ocki then

he might be the next Geddy Lee actually

theoretically drake's kind of a weird exception-to-all-rules, as a potentially really popular rapper who's non-American AND a guy who sings and does 'girl songs' AND a 'lyrical' (cough) rapper with a mixtape following, etc. etc. i'm assuming once he's got an album on shelves he'll start to slide into a pretty boring niche and not really straddle those roles in any interesting way, though.

so drake is the next s1ocki then

beat me to it

best i ever dad joke

Wale by tragic default

I actually like Wale's verses on Chillin, but the beat sounds so thrown together. How can you use that Steam sample and then completely abandon it out on the chorus? They don't even reference it in any way. The beat on Best I Ever Had actually reminds me of Throw Some D's, and Drake's verses even have some of the same cathartic spirit as Rich Boy's, but just about a girl instead of a car.

Drake's verses even have some of the same cathartic spirit as Rich Boy's

you are like an assembly line of wrong

that statement is such blasphemy against ringtone cru

excrumunicated

can someone just pull the sock off whoever's hand already?

the beat being your biggest problem with "Chillin" is sooooo YOU makeitpop!!

It's just a really bad beat is all. I also don't like the look on his face when he walks through that banner in the video.

the whole video is fail, especially the part where Wale does the little dance where he tucks his chin and holds a tiny CGI Gaga in the palm of his hand

def the drake song

the mighty ducks didnt disappoint emilo estevez u know what im sayin

now that summer's over it looks clear that drake crushed wale. heard that drake song at least once a day and can't say i heard wale at all. and i live in dc.

it was clear that "best" was a billion times more popular than any wale song at the beginning of the summer, too.

drivin my car in a foreign place

even for a makeitpop poll, these results are a bit disappointing. "best i ever had" is a genuinely great song and a bona fide hit, "chillin" is garbage

Maybe a Kid Cudi vs Drake poll would have been a better idea in hindsight.

'day n nite' vs 'best i ever had' would be more interesting imo

tiebreaking vote for Drake = me.

vote to set Drake on fire = also me
